For any compact complex manifold X we may ask whether the group Aut (X) of holomorphic automorphisms of X acts faithfully on the cohomology ring H*(X; A) with values in some ring A. If the identity component of Aut (X) contains elements g different from 1 then g acts trivially in cohomology. So the answer is" no" if the Lie-algebra of Aut (X) doesn't reduce to {0}-or equivalently if X admits a non-zero holomorphic vectorfield. This happens if eg X is biholomorphically isomorphic to Y x IP'. Now, let me look at the case dimr ie X is a compact Riemann surface. Because of the reason given before, if the genus of X is 0 or 1 the answer is negative. However, a well-known theorem-going back to Hurwitz states that in all other cases, ie if the genus is at least 2, the group Aut (X) does operate faithfully on H t (X, 7/). It is instructive to look at the proof of this, since it contains some of the ingredients of the main theorem stated below. So, suppose X is a compact Riemann surface of genus> 2, and assume 1 4= geAutX acts trivially on HI (x, 7/). Now the canonical system on X is free of base points, so for any pe X there exists a holomorphic l-form e) which does not vanish at p. Since the vector space of holomorphic 1-forms on X is a direct factor of HI (X, r we must have that g* o)= eg. In particular, if peX were a fixed point of g, the induced map on the cotangent space at p would be the identity. But then g= 1, contrary to our assumptions. So g acts fixed point free, and the Lefschetz fixed point formula implies that Trace g* l Hl (X, 7/)= 2. However g*= id, so Trace g* lH 1 (X, 7/)= rank H 1 (X, 71)> 3, since the genus of X is at least 2. This contradiction completes the proof. Now we go over to the case of compact complex 2-dimensional manifolds, to be called surfaces. For the sake of completeness let me recall what is known in this situation.For K3-surfaces X the group Aut (X) operates faithfully on HZ (x, 7/)(cf. Burns-Rapoport,[2], Prop. 1.1) and a similar statement is true for Enriques surfaces (cf. Ueno,[7]). Notice that, whereas in the first case H2 (X, 7/) has no torsion, in the second case it does have torsion. In fact there exists an Enriques
